Direct speech using past tense question structure.
One night, a man was driving through an intersection. The traffic light had just turned from yellow to red. Thinking there were no other cars around, he sped through the intersection, only to be pulled over by a police officer. The officer asked, "Didn't you see the red light?" "I did," he replied. "Then why did you run it?" the officer pressed. The man answered, "Because I didn't see you!"
[Reflection]
In life, we often try to take shortcuts, believing our actions are hidden from everyone. However, our deeds are known to all, and nothing can truly be concealed. Reflect on your recent life: can every action you take be brought into the light, without the need for excuses or justifications to deceive yourself into thinking they are right?
深夜，一个人驾车经过一个十字路口。此时，信号灯已由黄灯转为红灯。他心想，反正路上没车，便加速冲了过去，结果却不巧被警察拦了下来。警察问他：“你没看到红灯吗？”“看到了。”他回答。“那你为什么还闯红灯呢？”警察追问道。他却说：“因为我没看到你呀！”
〔默想〕
我们常想在生活中投机取巧，以为可以瞒天过海，殊不知我们的所作所为，天地皆知，无所遁形。回想一下近来的生活，是否每一件事都能坦然地置于阳光之下，而不是寻找借口和理由来欺骗自己，试图将错误合理化。
